Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwear technology, specifically to a fitted bra. Background Technology

[0002] Fitted bras have become widely used in the market in recent years due to their lightweight and comfortable wearing experience. However, because fitted bras use adhesive or heat-press bonding processes, their structural stability and support performance are generally weaker compared to traditional sewn bras. Especially during dynamic activities or prolonged wear, cups are prone to shifting, moving upwards, or shifting, affecting the wearing experience and breast shape stability.

[0003] To improve support and stability, some form-fitting bras on the market add support pads or strips to the underband area to enhance support. However, to ensure a smooth and comfortable feel against the skin at the underband, most products place these support pads or strips in the inner or outer layer. Since the inner layer is smooth and the bra fabric is soft against the skin, these pads or strips are prone to shifting during wear, thus limiting the support structure and the amount of support provided. Furthermore, these support pads or strips often leave raised marks on the surface, affecting the smoothness and fit of the bra. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conforming bra that significantly improves the support performance and stability of conforming bras without affecting comfort and appearance, thereby solving the problems of cup displacement and insufficient support, and further enhancing the actual wearing experience and market competitiveness of conforming bras.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A fitted bra includes an outer fabric, an inner fabric, a three-dimensional spacer fabric, and a flexible support strip. The outer and inner fabrics are bonded together by an adhesive layer to form a bra shape with cups, a center gore, a back band, and an underband. The three-dimensional spacer fabric is located between the outer and inner fabrics at the underband position. The flexible support strip is located between the three-dimensional spacer fabric and the inner fabric and extends along the bottom arc of the cups and the center gore. The inner surface of the inner fabric has a raised structure supported by the flexible support strip.

[0007] Preferably, the adhesive layer is a liquid silicone thread, a hot melt adhesive dot, or a hot melt adhesive mesh.

[0008] Preferably, the three-dimensional spacer fabric is a warp-knitted three-dimensional spacer fabric.

[0009] Preferably, the flexible support strip is silicone cartilage.

[0010] Preferably, the flexible support strip is W-shaped or U-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the back section is divided into a left back section and a right back section located on the left and right sides of the bra cup, respectively, and the left back section and the right back section are connected by a hook-and-eye closure assembly.

[0012] Preferably, the bra design further includes a shoulder strap connection portion, which extends upward from the top of the cup, and a shoulder strap is connected between the shoulder strap connection portion and the back panel.

[0013] Preferably, a cup cavity is formed between the outer fabric and the inner fabric at the cup position and the cup cavity is filled with filler, and the inner fabric has an opening that communicates with the cup cavity at the position corresponding to the center of the cup.

[0014] Preferably, the filling material is a coaster.

[0015] Preferably, the opening is sealed with heat-sealing tape or excess adhesive strip, which is bonded to the filler.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model of a fitted bra features a three-dimensional spacer fabric and a flexible support strip sandwiched at the underband between the outer and inner fabrics. The flexible support strip is located between the three-dimensional spacer fabric and the inner fabric and extends along the bottom arc of the cup and the center gore. Through the compressive strength and resilience of the three-dimensional spacer fabric, the flexible support strip lifts the inner fabric after hot pressing to form a raised structure that fits the skin without creating raised marks on the surface of the outer fabric, resulting in a smooth and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0018] Meanwhile, the raised structure on the skin-contacting surface comes into contact with the skin when worn. The flexible support strip has the characteristic of deformation under stress, so it can form moderate friction with the skin while maintaining comfort, reducing the bra from slipping during dynamic activities, enhancing the bra's stability and fixation at the bottom of the chest, and preventing the cups from shifting upwards or moving out of place. At the same time, the flexible support strip provides effective support and upward lift to the cups, achieving a stable support effect close to that of an underwire.

[0019] This invention can achieve a near-underwire stable support effect without affecting the comfort and flatness of the bra, significantly improving the problems of insufficient support and cup displacement in bras, and enhancing the stability and comfort of the breast shape when wearing them.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a fitted bra, including an outer fabric 10, an inner fabric 40, a three-dimensional spacer fabric 20, and a flexible support strip 30.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer fabric 10 and the inner fabric 40 use the same fabric, which is a nylon-spandex four-way stretch fabric with a warp elongation of 110%-120% and a weft elongation of 135%-150%. The nylon-spandex four-way stretch fabric is warp-knitted using nylon-spandex covered yarn as the ground yarn and jacquard yarn as the weft yarn, wherein the core yarn of the nylon-spandex covered yarn is spandex and the outer covering yarn is nylon FDY filament.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer fabric 10 and the inner fabric 40 have the same shape and are bonded together by the adhesive layer 50 to form a bra shape with a cup 101, a gore 102, a back band 103, and an underband 104. The top of the cup 101 also extends upward to form a shoulder strap connection 105. A cup cavity 106 is formed between the outer fabric 10 and the inner fabric 40 at the position of the cup 101. That is, the outer fabric 10 and the inner fabric 40 are not bonded at the position of the cup cavity 106 to form a cavity that can accommodate the filling material 60. The shape of the cup cavity 106 is formed by the adhesive layer 50 around the edge of the cup cavity 106.

[0030] To reduce the decrease in breathability caused by the presence of the adhesive layer 50, the adhesive layer 50 is not fully coated but has breathable gaps. The adhesive layer 50 uses liquid silicone threads, distributed around the edges of the outer fabric 10, the edges of the cup cavity 106, the underband 104, and the junction of the cup 101 and the back panel 103. The liquid silicone threads can be thermoformed to bond the outer fabric 10 and the inner fabric 40 together. Alternatively, in some other examples, the adhesive layer 50 may also use a hot melt adhesive web or hot melt adhesive dots.

[0031] To facilitate the insertion of the filler 60 into the cup cavity 106, the inner fabric 40 has an opening at a position corresponding to the cup cavity 106 near the center gore 102, communicating with the cup cavity 106. In subsequent processes, the filler 60 is filled into the cup cavity 106 through this opening. The filler 60 is generally a coaster, preferably made of silicone or upright cotton. The coaster is soft and its shape naturally conforms to the cup cavity 106.

[0032] In this embodiment, the flexible support strip 30 is a silicone cartilage with a width of 4mm-10mm. The three-dimensional spacer fabric 20 is specifically a warp-knitted three-dimensional spacer fabric with a thickness of 2mm-5mm. It has high compressive strength, resilience and structural stability, and good air and moisture permeability. Its structure consists of a surface layer, a bottom layer and a spacer layer connecting the surface layer and the bottom layer. The surface layer and the bottom layer are woven with 40D / 34F nylon filament in a warp plain weave. The spacer layer is made of 50D-80D nylon filament.

[0033] The three-dimensional spacer fabric 20 is located between the outer fabric 10 and the inner fabric 40 at the underband 104 and has a contour line along the bottom arc of the cup 101. The flexible support strip 30 is located between the three-dimensional spacer fabric 20 and the inner fabric 40 and extends along the bottom arc of the cup 101 and the center gore 102. The flexible support strip 30 is W-shaped (in other examples, the flexible support strip 30 can also be U-shaped). The inner surface of the inner fabric 40 has a raised structure 41 supported by the flexible support strip 30. This raised structure 41 is clearly visible on the skin-contact side of the bra. When worn, this raised structure 41 contacts the skin. At the same time, the flexible support strip 30 has the characteristic of deformation under force, so it can form moderate friction with the skin while maintaining comfort, reducing the bra slippage during dynamic activities, enhancing the stability and fixation of the bra at the bottom of the chest, and preventing the cup 101 from shifting upwards or moving. At the same time, the flexible support strip 30 provides effective support and upward lifting force for the cup 101, achieving a stable support effect close to that of an underwire.

[0034] In this embodiment, the back panel 103 is divided into a left back panel and a right back panel, located on the left and right sides of the cup 101, respectively. The left and right back panels are connected by a hook-and-eye closure assembly. The hook-and-eye closure assembly is a conventional accessory, consisting of a separable first component 71 and a second component 72. The first component 71 includes a first strap sewn to the end of the left back panel and multiple rows of eyelets fixed to the first strap. The second component 72 includes a second strap sewn to the end of the right back panel and rows of hooks fixed to the second strap. The hooks cooperate with the eyelets to close the first component 71 and the second component 72. The number of rows of eyelets is generally three or four. The shoulder strap connecting part 105 is connected to the back panel 103 by a D-ring buckle, and a shoulder strap 81 is connected to it.

[0035] In this embodiment, the conformal bra is manufactured by first printing or screen printing liquid silicone on the side of the outer fabric 10 facing the inner fabric 40. The liquid silicone is distributed in spaced lines around the edges of the outer fabric 10, the edges of the cup cavity 106, the underband 104, and the junction of the cup 101 and the back panel 103. Next, the three-dimensional spacer fabric 20 is placed along the bottom arc of the cup cavity 106 at the position of the underband 104. Silicone cartilage material is coated on the surface of the three-dimensional spacer fabric 20. Then, the inner fabric 40 is aligned and hot-pressed, and the liquid silicone is thermoset. The adhesive layer 50 is formed by thermosetting silicone cartilage material into a flexible support strip 30, which lifts the inner fabric 40 to form a raised structure 41. The outer fabric 10 is flat and without protrusions at the position corresponding to the flexible support strip 30. The cup cavity 106 is molded, with an opening in the inner fabric 40, and filled with filler 60. An overflow adhesive strip 90 is then hot-pressed at the opening position of the inner fabric 40 to achieve a sealed fit. The overflow adhesive strip 90 is bonded to the filler 60 to fix the position of the filler 60. Finally, the shoulder strap 81 and the hook-and-eye closure assembly are connected to obtain a fitted bra.

[0036] In some other examples, heat-sealing tape can be used instead of the excess adhesive strip 90. The outer layer of the heat-sealing tape or excess adhesive strip 90 is a substrate, and the inner layer is a hot melt adhesive layer. The substrate is preferably the same fabric as the inner fabric 40. It should be noted that if the excess adhesive strip 90 is used, the abruptness of its edge where it adheres to the inner fabric 40 can be significantly reduced, there are no obvious ridges, and it is more comfortable to wear.

[0037] Additionally, it may further include a support piece 82 for gathering the breasts and preventing them from sagging, the top of the support piece 82 being fixed to the shoulder strap connection 105, and the bottom edge of the support piece 82 being fixed to the surface of the inner fabric 40 along the raised structure 41.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention.
